been twenty years a police officer,
and had not during that period con-
sidered it necessary to carry weapons
of any kind over twenty times. The
writer has lived in Honolulu more
than half of that period, and has
been around all hours Of the night,
often on work Of police character,
and has never once carried q con-
cealed weapon, nor thought one
necessary.
1t may be little hard for persons
who have been accustomed to live in
places where shooting is common,
to learn that this is not q shooting
community, and that about the last
thing it will do will be to shoot any
stranger who comes along. But it
is fact which they should learn,
nevertheless. Then there may be
some who know the fact, and still
carry around revolvers in their back
pockets. They would show more
bravery and common sense, to say
nothing of respect for law, by keep
ing such implements at home.
However pacific and harmless may
be the intention of those who carry
concealed weapons, there is always
danger of such people using them
in moment of excitement, and ever
after repenting of the deed. In this
way many an innocent man has
been murdered, and many an ordin-
arily good man has become a
murderer. This fact should have
some weight with the offenders, if
they wish to avoid the possibility of
such contingency, although they
may think the law unworthy of
respect.

OUR STREETS AND ROADS.

Our streets and roads, on the
whole, are not in first class condi-
ton, and they cannot be put in such
a condition without the expenditure
of many times more money than is
available for that purpose, and the
lapse of considerable time. To
thoroughly macadamise all the
thoroughfares in and around Homo
lulu, as Bethel street has been
macadamised, IS big undertaking
and nothing less can be said to be
first class. But even this is not too
much to seek after and hope for in
the not very distant future, With
q reduction on foreign missions and
home shows, follies, and sinecures,
there will be, by-and-by, more
money to devote to works of general
Improvement and public utility.
Streets and roads have q first claim
on large share of this saving.
The Government of the past APP
parently attached great importance
to lighting the town, and went in
for electricity at great cost, while
locomotion was extremely unpleas-
ant even with the aid of the best
sunlight, because of inequalities,
ruts, and mud. This was putting
the horse before the cart-a very
ridiculous thing to do literally, but
often done metaphorically. Good
street-lights are certainly very use
full and desirable but not so useful
and desirable as good, even,
clean streets. Let us have both if
we can afford them, but especially
let us have good streets; we need
them in higher degree.
1t is only just to say that the pre-
sent Road Supervisor, during the
short time he has held the position,
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-09-19

has made good use of the means at
his command. Patching and re-
pairing have greatly improved many
thoroughfares, and others have been
thoroughly macadamised. A gentle
man who has been there, has just
reported that the Pail road, from
near the Halfway House to the top
of the Pail, is now in good condition
for traffic in all weathers. Other
roads are also in course Of construc-
ton. But winter will soon be here,
and with it will inevitably return
the chorus Of growls and complaints
about the streets and roads; but so
long as the Road Supervisor makes
the best use of his time and the
money at his disposal, no reason
able man can growl at him.

SEIZED a WAR SHIPS ALE.

Halifax, Aug. 10.-An incident
occurred on board the American war
ship Richmond this afternoon, which
in view of the present relations be-
tween the United States and Cana
ola, causes considerable amusement.
Several hundred bottles of ale were
being placed on the ship, having
Just been taken out from the shore,
when License Inspector Mackenzie
suddenly put in an appearance and
seized the ale. The charge is that
the ale was purchased from a city
victualler who has no license to sell
liquor. He accommodated the war
ship with what was required because
he had supplied her with provisions
while in port. The officers of the
Richmond are involved in no trouble,
but if the charge against the victual-
Ter is proved he will be heavily fined.
Much interest was manifested
here to-day on the publication of q
despatch from Ottawa saying that
the officials of the Fisheries Depart
ment had confirmed the report that
English war ships to be sent to the
Gulf of st. Lawrence to assist Ca
madam fisheries cruisers in the en-
forcement of the treaty and Domi-
Mon laws. The United States men
of-war now here will sail tomorrow
afternoon for Bar Harbor, Me-

OVER-HANGINC VINES.

Several complaints have recently
reached this office about the over
hanging of vines and branches of
trees from private residences across
public sidewalks, to the detriment
of traffic. We have not far to 90 to
prove that the complaints are not a
mere foundationless growl. One
place might be pointed out on King
street, near McIntyre's corner, in
the direction of Waikiki. There is
another place on Richard street,
opposite the Hawaiian Hotel. And
these are not all that could be named
in the city, but are sufficient TO show
that vines are allowed to grow lower
over sidewalks than is convenient
for pedestrians who are not of low
stature. The question here arises,
whose duty is it to remove or pre-
vent these public annoyances? The
people who complain seem generally
to hold the Road Supervisor respon-
sible, and think it his duty to do the
necessary trimming. The news
papers, too, have generally spoken
in the same strain. We rather think
it is the duty of the people who own
the vines or trees, to see that they
do not encroach upon the rights of
the public, just as much as it is the
duty of man who owns an OK to
prevent its getting into the street to
gore passers-by. 1t may be the duty
of the Road Supervisor to warn the
owners of their neglect, and in the
event of continued neglect, to do
the work at their expense; but we
cannot understand why trees and
wines which are private property
should be trimmed at public expense.

CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS.

While passing judgment in a case
of carving a concealed weapon,
which came before the Police Court
last week, Judge Dayton commented
on the practice with uncloaked
severity, and announced his inten-
ton to enforce the full penalty OF
the law in all such cases brought be-
fore him in future. The Judges
utterances were seasonable, and it
is to be hoped they will have good
effect; for if we are correctly in
formed, the practice of carrying
concealed weapons, which the law
wisely prohibits, has become alto
oether to prevalent here of late
A year or so ago, this paper pro-
tested against the unlawful practice.
The offenders then were Cinnamon,
in whose favor ignorance of the law
might have been allowed as an ez-
tenuating circumstance. AT the
present time, white men are the
guilty parties, and they can scarcely
be unaware of the statute prohibit
ton.
There may be times and circum-
stances when the breech of law of
this nature may be to an extent
iustifable. But il ever there were
such times and circumstances in
Honolulu, they are past and gone.
Judge Dayton stated that he had

The Cattle ssa " ssrJ.

Reports from the range and ranch
cattle industry in the West generally
indicate that the early reports of winter
losses have been considerably cxnggcr-
aicd. The only Territory where cattle
men sufFcrei severe losses WAS In Mon.
tana. where the mortality proves I"
have been from fifteen N twenty-five
per cent. on The average. The losses In
Colorado and Western Kansas were very
ligh: ~ far as heard from. averaging
under I've per cent. Parts Of Idaho
and wyonin: auTered quite severely.
particularly In northern parts, but aver
age Losses in the Territories were not
excessive. Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona were noticably fortunate, rs
the loss does not exceed three per cent.
In either Of them. Texas reports sorne
suffering because Of the drought. but
the winter WAS much more favorable to
stockmcn than that Of 1850.
On the whole it can be said that .bc
past winter was a favorable one TO the
cattle-raising interests Of the West. and
that hide and leather markets will not
feel the effect noticcably Of what fallen
hides will come upon the market.
From every section come reports Of
encroachments Of emigrants upon graz.
ing territory. and particularly from Ne.
brasha, Kansas and Colorado. whore
cattlemen arc being pushed westward.
1t Is the opinion Of some that the cattle
raising industry has reached its height.
and II soon will become necessary to
raise alfalfa aud grass for feed.
The Inter State Commerce law works
to disadvantage in some sections. but
reports vary on this point without ex
ception as TO a single State or Territory.
The spring season has opened well.
with an abundance Of rain and fine
outlook for grass. Cattle raisers In
Montana feel much encouraged over the
outlook and feel that a favorable spring
will go far to recuperate their losses
and prevent further mortality among
weak cattle.

A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize colony of so.
Der and industrious young men and men
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing contented and
prosperous community.

view are invited to send their names and
residence to either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess Of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with u climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot aud peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigation, thus insuring successful sOil cul-
ture.
A town will be laid out with lots for bus
luess and residence purposes, these last in-
cleasing IN size as they reccde from the bus
ress center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy c. lony. Wide streets will be mad
4 special feature of the town aud suitable
reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis of contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard OF
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prshibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
his work, as the first year of colony life is
# necessity one in which the work of estab-
'Ishing the home and preparing garden, Or
chard and farm lands must be done aud but
little in the way of crops, save for homo sub
| sistence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses of organization, location of lands,
| ETC., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. As soon as sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps

appended to this call and who has agreed to
settlement of the now prosperous towns of
Greeley, Fort Collins aud Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irrigating
anals and the development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
It is desirable that settlement in the new
town be made as early as possible. Write
us at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.
